"Pepe from Reddi Services arrived quickly after calling that our showers and toilets started to backflow. Found the issue quickly (someone flushed wipes down the toilet clogging the line). Resolved the issue quickly. Sinks, toilets working as expected. Appreciate how quickly the company responded from the time I called to the time Pepe arrived and resolved the issue. Had the septic tank pumped just a year ago so was not expecting any issues. Now informing the 4 women in the household to not flush make-up wipes down the toilets as that seems to be what caused the issue."
"Though I thought they were a little pricey, I went with them because of the pre-sale customer service and the warranty. The toilet works great and I am glad I went with them."
"My bathroom toilet had a crack and had to be replaced, Ready Rooter arrived on time. The employee explain that the entire toilet has to replaced and quoted a reasonable price. They were respectful of me in my home. They did a Amazing job and did the right way. Thanks to the Company. I'll recommend this company to everybody."
"Everything started out fine. He was super professional, friendly and explained everything. When my husband got home I told him what was wrong with it. After taking the toilet apart to replace the wax as instructed we had to buy a whole new toilet. After turning the water back on discovered it was not the toilet at all. It is in the wall behind the shower. We still do not have running water. Then the guy that was supposed to come by and run a camera through our drains for free did not know what I was talking about so he never came by. $138 dollars for absolutely nothing. Thanks."
"James was prompted in both dropping by to make an estimate and when he came to install/rebuild the toilets. He was efficient and even came on a Saturday. Great Job. Will use West Plumbing for future plumbing needs."

The lifespan of a toilet can vary significantly. While the porcelain body itself can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, most plumbers suggest an average functional lifespan of 10 to 25 years, and many homeowners replace their toilets after about 20 years.
A toilet's longevity is influenced by factors like maintenance quality, hard water buildup, and damage to the finish. It's also important to note that internal components have much shorter lifespans than the bowl; for example, flappers may last only a few years, while fill valves can last around 10 years.
Even if an older toilet is still functional, consider upgrading to a high-efficiency model to save on water costs.
Toilet augers are hand-held drain snakes. Most of them come with 3 to 6 feet of cleaning cable and a curved, plastic elbow sleeve to protect your toilet bowl. If your clog does not go beyond the toilet’s wax seal, a 3-foot auger would be sufficient. Otherwise, you may need a 6-foot auger to unclog the drain.
Yes, you can clean a toilet tank with white vinegar. Before you do, shut off the water supply to the toilet. Then, flush it to empty the tank. Next, combine one part vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle and spray the mixture inside the tank. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse away the vinegar by pouring clean water into the tank. Make sure the tank is empty, then dip a scrub brush in vinegar and clean the tank’s inside walls. Turn the water back on and flush again to rinse away the vinegar.
While you don’t have to run out and immediately buy a new toilet at the first sign of a clog, if the toilet keeps clogging because it’s a low-flow or poorly designed model, a new toilet may be the way to go. If your toilet keeps clogging, you can try using less toilet paper, adjusting the fill valve, checking the toilet vent pipe on the roof, and using a toilet auger to make sure nothing is stuck in the pipe or trap.
The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.
